-I, --infointerface=InterfaceName

the computing element specified by URL at the command line should be queried using this information interface (possible options: org.nordugrid.ldapng, org.nordugrid.ldapglue2, org.nordugrid.wsrfglue2, org.ogf.glue.emies.resourceinfo)

-J jobid, --jobid=jobid

-r time, --runtime=time

test job runtime specified in case of the 1st test job.

-j, --joblist=filename

-o, --jobids-to-file=filename

the IDs of the submitted jobs will be appended to this file

-D, --dryrun

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION¶

The arctest command is used for basic testing of ARC client and server installation through submitting various test jobs. It can also print basic information about user's certificate. The command is complementary to arcinfo and arcproxy -I

The test jobs available in this version of arctest are:

Test job 1: This test-job calculates prime-numbers for a number of minutes given by -r (default 5) and outputs the list to stderr. The source-code for the prime-number program, the Makefile and the executable are downloaded to the cluster from HTTP and FTP servers and the program is compiled before running. In this way, the test job constitutes a fairly comprehensive test of the basic setup of a grid cluster.

Test job 2: attempts to list all environment variables at the remote site

Test job 3: copies a remote file from an HTTP server into a local file

EXAMPLES¶

arctest -J 1 -c <clustername>

will submit test job number 1 to the specified cluster belonging to the flavor of it.

arctest --certificate

will print basic information about the user's certificate.
